Raymond reports, as does several other genealogies, that Mary Ann wasborn in Germany. I'd like to know more about this, with a family nameHenderson, which I know as an English name. Several Stranges in thisline married Hendersons over several generations in Tennessee and theCarolinas. I would assume that a claim like this is based on familyinformation, but I note that the censuses from 1850 to 1870 report shewas born in South Carolina. Looks like there would be a notesomewhere in one of these three censuses if she was born in Germany.

The child Amos B of the 1860 census matches Bradford of 1850,confirming that the full name is Amos Bradford Jr. We are now toldthat Edwin J is Edwin J B.

I found that in the 1910 census, the record for what appears to be herson Robert I reports his mother born in Germany. It is probably fromthis report that the genealogies report her birth in Germany. Mostgenealogies do not report their sources. It is intriguing that Robertreported this.
